Conservatism in Regulation 

Frank, Friendly and Moderate 
Discussion Will Benefit Everybody 



» 


More than 80 bills exclusively affecting 
railways are pending in Congress. These 
measures are not only before the Senate and 
House Committees on Commerce, Interstate 
Commerce, Railroads and Pacific Railroads, 
but before the Committees on the Judiciary, 
Post Offices and Post-roads, Agriculture and 
Forestry, Education and Labor, Immigration 
and Transportation Routes to Seaboard. 

In addition to the bills which specifically 
deal with the carriers, there are hundreds 
more which affect railways in common with 
all other corporations engaged in interstate 
commerce. Many of these, while drawn in 
general terms, arise from railway situations 
and would, if enacted, affect railways chiefly. 

The bills on all subjects introduced in Con¬ 
gress since March 4, 1909, numbered on Feb¬ 
ruary 14, 6,309, in the Senate and 20,818 in 
the House, a total of 27,127. Even subtracting 
pension bills, this total was 9.425. 

The most superficial glance at the enormous 
mass of proposals affecting railways shows 
that there is a wide disparity of opinion 
among members of Congress. This divergence 
as to the desirable purposes of regulation and 
the best methods for accomplishing them 
means that the people at large are similarly 
perplexed. 

For all concerned the legislative situation 
is one of difficulty. For the legislators, the 
shippers and the railway officials it is one of 
grave responsibility. 

Members of the Railway Business Associa¬ 
tion, which publishes the accompanying sum¬ 
mary of the purely railway bills pending, 
believe we have a peculiar responsibility. We 
have a peculiar motive. To us, wise decisions 
as to new restrictions are a necessity. We 
sell goods to the railways. To us and our 
employees it is a matter of business. The 
railway officials have not asked us to exert 
our influence with legislators. We have more 
at stake than the railways. We employ as 
many men as they do when times are good— 
about 1,500,000. But when times were bad 
in 1908 we had at one time an idle army of 
more than 600,000, which was three times 
as many as the railroads laid off. If the 


railway loses part of its business, it stops 
improvements and extensions and simply car¬ 
ries what business there is. But for us, when 
this condition is reached, there is no profitable 
business at all; in fact, serious loss, and for 
our employees no work. It is improvement and 
extension of railway facilities that gives our 
employees their bread and butter. 

Our prosperity means bread and butter also 
to many other thousands who, perhaps, do not 
realize it. When 1,500,000 men, representing 
with their families between 5,000,000 and 
6,000,000 mouths to feed and backs to clothe, 
are put on part time, or laid off altogether, 
trade falls off for all those with whom they deal 
for the common necessities, and this disaster 
is quickly communicated to the manufactur¬ 
ing establishments which produce those com¬ 
modities. In certain communities where es¬ 
tablishments depending upon railways consti¬ 
tute practically the only industry, the connec¬ 
tion between the closed factory and universal 
hardship is clearly manifest. In the larger 
centers the interest which suffers when rail¬ 
way purchases diminish is not so conspicuous, 
but in the aggregate employs a good many 
more people, and its curtailment produces very 
much more distress. 

It may be supposed by those engaged in 
certain lines of manufacture and trade that 
because only a small proportion of their busi¬ 
ness is directly with the railways, or none at 
all, they are not interested with us in foster¬ 
ing the purchasing power of the carriers. But 
is this true? When these concerns, the larg¬ 
est part of whose product in steel, coal, lum¬ 
ber, cement, or any other of the great staples, 
is consumed by railways, lose for a time their 
principal customer, then the establishment 
which formerly sold 10 per cent, to the rail¬ 
ways will be very hard hit. It will probably 
lose the 10 per cent, of its business which it 
formerly did with the railways and be obliged, 
besides, to meet, in selling to all its other 
customers, a new competition due to the 
shrinkage in the market for such goods as 
a whole. 

The group of industries which intimately 
depend upon railways, therefore, appeal with 


3 




f 

confidence to the general public for co-opera¬ 
tion, since what is for our interest is for the 
interest of all. 

Our establishments have been reassembling 
their organizations. Re-employment has largely 
taken place. We approach the discussion of 
legislation confident as to the industrial fu¬ 
ture, and urging not that regulation shall 
cease, but that no new restriction shall be 
imposed which has not been thoroughly in¬ 
vestigated and discussed and found to be 
absolutely necessary in the public interest. 

We offer no comment on the merits of the 
pending bills. As an Association we are in¬ 
terested in them only as they may affect the 
ability of the railways to buy our goods. On 
that question, as it may be involved in each 
bill, the railway managers possess knowledge 
and experience which makes them the most 
competent witnesses. What we have to ask 
is that the proposed regulations should be 
discussed in such a friendly way that the 
knowledge of the railway officials will be fully 
availed of and no mistakes made through 
unwitting failure of the legislators to have 
all the facts. 

As the stenographic reports of the hearings 
before the Senate and House Committees on 
Interstate Commerce have come to us day by 
day, we have been struck with the manifest 
desire of the railway managers to rest their 
case on its merits. They cheerfully acknowl¬ 
edge that regulation is desirable. They have 


submitted full and unreserved statements as 
to bills which involve questions of fact rather 
than of opinion, sending to Washington for 
that purpose operating officials as expert wit¬ 
nesses. With regard to proposals which in¬ 
volve general principles, most of them have 
apparently preferred to remain silent rather 
than court criticism as obstructionists, and 
when some of them have discussed the bills 
it has been in a spirit of helpfulness. 

The members of the Committees at the same 
hearings have exhibited an unmistakable de¬ 
sire to secure all the information possible, 
and by their painstaking attention to the tes¬ 
timony, from whatever source, have obviously 
acted on the presumption that the railway 
manager, as well as the railway patron, was 
sincere .and inspired by commendable motives. 

The patrons of the carriers, as represented 
through officials of traffic and other commer¬ 
cial organizations, have given the railways 
generous credit for systematic efforts to mini¬ 
mize various particular evils, and have shown 
a gratifying freedom from prejudice against 
them. 

It is the highest hope of the Railway Busi¬ 
ness Association that the spirit of these 
hearings will characterize the entire course 
of the forthcoming discussion in Congress, by 
the public and in the press, to the end both 
that the result may be wise and that the dis¬ 
cussion itself may give to the minds of rail¬ 
way managers, investors and the general busi¬ 
ness public confidence in a beneficent outcome.
